This past January, we held the first ever Shiny Developer Conference. It was a chance to gather together a group of intermediate to advanced Shiny users, and take their skills to the next level.
It was an exciting event for me in particular, as I’ve been dying to share some of these intermediate and advanced Shiny concepts for years now. There are many concepts that aren’t strictly required to be productive with Shiny, but make a huge difference in helping you write efficient, robust, maintainable apps—and also make Shiny app authoring a lot more satisfying.

The articles section on shiny.rstudio.com has lots of great advice for Shiny developers.
